Why is it...that with such simple instruction we find this so difficult to do?
"Do the Right Thing" is all it takes!
The foundation of this write,and the way you present it, leads us to that mutual plane...One with Him!
Well done Dan~
Thank you for sharing~
Love and Peace~

nice perception...its amazing all the ways the parabales and stories can be and have been intrepreted over time...perhaps they were always meant to be self perceived

Dear Dan

I am not a person of religion; however, that is where wisdom resides. Do Justice, Love Mercy and walk Humbly with thy God was inscribed over the door of a synagogue that went up in my very Irish Catholic neigborhood when I was a kid. That quote inspired me as any of the teachings of the Jesus I believed in. Never could understand why I was not allowed to enter that mysterious place. Things have changed I think.

Man is seen through God
Man in the spirit, walks free,
God is seen through man.

wonderful notion.

Love,
Kathy

I only hope those mercies extend toward forgiving our fellow humans and not having them killed because they have killed, as vengence is not ours and an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind! Great write & insight!

To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God

Truly sounds like 'the right thing' to me.

Again, Dan, you've used haiku "of the spirit" to write of our Heavenly Father and man's innocuous way of overturning the cart and doing wrong(s). Applause.

PS: Never ponder over a matter; set it to paper and share with others your powerful messages.

Very insightful. I read each one three times. You seem to twist the frail thought pattern we tend to lean on. Everything man is....is God, but not in God's light. Very profound writing.
